Compositional analysis of fatty acids and molecular species in TAG for P. tricornutum cells. Lipids were analysed after 72 h of cultivation in N-replete (+N) and N-deplete (−N) medium. a, b TAG fatty acid composition; c, d TAG molecular species composition. Each measurement represents the average of at least four technical replicates. Error bars indicate standard error. Asterisks indicate dominant TAG species, which are significantly different between strains and those which are significantly altered by N stress. Black asterisks indicate TAG species containing 16:0 and 16:1 fatty acids; green asterisks indicate TAG species containing C16–C18 fatty acids; and blue asterisks indicate TAG species containing 20:5, 22:5 and 22:6
